Answering the call to serve others can brighten the life of someone with memory loss, and it tends to give something back to the person volunteering. Gianna's vision is that volunteers offer residents care that respects their dignity, their uniqueness and their life — and that volunteers find something for themselves in the doing of it.
You do not need experience. Volunteers are trained in dementia, in communication strategies, and in the specific role. You can come as an individual, as a family, or as part of a school group, and the time commitment is negotiable.
These are Gianna's own role names. Most volunteers do one of them; some drift between two.
